As for the bugs..... nah!

Thats all I need to complete my non art Museum collection as well :o


Yes but I bet you've got all the bugs.

Yeah! What kind of casual Animal Crossing player do you think I am? :capnscotty:

Also in about 350 hours of play, I have not once seen a flea. Apparently I am not alone in this. Some poor sod has put in 1600 hours and not seen one. Hmm.

You never "see" them. If you talk to all your islanders every day, eventually one will mention being itchy. Whack them with you net after they do so; you'll then catch a flea.

Ah cheers for that. Yeah I never talk to my villagers anymore…. I thought you were supposed to see little black dots from what I’ve read…. :fp:

You can see them, but they are very easy to miss. Most of the time it's the villager complaining that tips me off. They are fairly common in my experience, I've probably caught dozens.

Redd was here again today, just with the one genuine piece, luckily it wasn’t one I had already! Now got the Rock Head Statue :)

Is it worth putting together a list of the art we all need to try and help each other complete that section of the museum?

Did Redd give cotton candy and drinks and other snacks last year during the fireworks show? I can't remember, but it was nice to get some handheld food/drink to stock up with. Can make bar areas look a bit more bar-like.

Nope, they are new items. Got them all last night myself too! You'll know when you have them all as you are guaranteed to get a new item each time until you have got all of them once, then it will start giving dupes. I think they added 13-25, which is a not inconsiderate number at 500 miles a pop!

Spent quite a lot of miles getting the full collection to store away and then re-rolling for dupes as I want to see the animations for eating them all. Unfortunately I just kept rolling last year's items and boba tea so I haven't eaten any candyfloss or ice creams yet! Redd's dialogue suggests you have a tripping chance while carrying an ice cream too which sounds fun.

Also it's time to complain again about the game not being localised for British English. It stands out so much in AC compared to other games, probably because of all the mentions of food and sport. What is this cotton candy nonsense!

Oh... you're right. Somehow I went through it last night thinking it was miles. I must have been tired :fp:

I think I was sent a genuine Warm Painting by one of my villagers today, if anyone needs it I’ll send it on but as I’ve already donated it I’m not 100% sure it’s genuine and I forgot to check! So no complaints if it’s fake, blame Lyman :lol:
